Hybrid Vehicles are the Solution of Environmental Problems of Road Transport

Abstract

The authors describe the benefits of vehicles with hybrid power unit (GSU), consider the schemes of hybrid propulsion vehicles. The article presents a design developed by the experimental all-wheel drive vehicle with hybrid power plant, made by a parallel circuit; description of the experimental vehicle test bench for fuel economy and emissions, held at the Federal State Unitary Enterprise NITSIAMT; the results of tests confirming the reduction of fuel consumption and emissions of cars with hybrid powerplant.
